Gold futures prices declined by Rs 53 to Rs 29,196 per 10 grams today, as speculators booked profits at existing higher levels amid a weakening global trend.
At the Multi Commodity exchange, gold for delivery in February declined by Rs 53 or 0.18 per cent to Rs 29,196 per 10 grams with a business turnover of 513 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in December lost Rs 40 or 0.14 per cent to Rs 28,898 per 10 grams with a trade volume of 6,784 lots.
Market analysts said besides profit-booking by speculators at existing higher levels, reports of a weakening global trend mainly led to the decline in gold futures prices.
